mean space cost
I would never go to a studio. I need my space, you know what I mean? I need to be able to chain smoke and pace about, cry and like... spit. Just make noise, make a huge mess. I also feel like if I was concerned for the cost of the studio - like, 'this is costing 40 dollars an hour' - I wouldn't be able to work.
philosophical mean important
Just because something might not have a deep philosophical meaning doesn't mean it's not important or relevant.
great means players won
Oh, we did? OK! Well, if we won the championship, then I congratulate our players for doing so. They did a great job. And if this means we get into the UEFA Cup, we'll be there.
mean arms saws
I saw a lot of good hitters but I never saw a better one than Paul Waner. I mean I once threw a side arm spitter right into his belly and he hit it into the upper deck.
fun mean way
It's mean to make fun of anybody for the way they look.
mean people yay
Just because people are calling you skinny doesn't mean I'm like, 'Yay!' No! You're telling me I don't look right. This is me, this is my body - I have accepted it.
music
My image seems to be so infantilized, and I don't really know why. It belittles the music.
cranking hits job
My dream job would be sitting in a room, cranking out hits for Rihanna.
music songs
My favorite music is never the music that anyone else likes, and other people's favorite songs are always my least favorite.
insular
When I'm making a song that's very Grimes, it just feels very insular and it feels weird to have someone else do something on it.
art good
I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.
experience music musical people
I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.
My set can get really screamo and aggressive, or it can be ambient and Enya-esque.
music
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
